This map was made in 1837, just 10 years
before the disaster of the "Great Famine" in 1847.
1837 is a particularly significant time in Ireland's history
at the period of the historically highest population and
immediately prior to the great exodus of Ireland's
population - mainly to the USA, the UK, Canada or Australia.

a Reproduction Copy of This Fine Old Map

The
maps on this site are reproductions taken from a very high resolution
digital scans of the originals. They are available
for purchase as decorative prints for mounting and display or
may be useful in genealogy. The maps are clear and colours bright.
There is some staining and antique discolouration as would be
expected of such old documents, this is faithfully reproduced
and adds to the atmosphere of the reproduction prints.

The printed detail is far greater than
reproduced on this web site, to produce a more accurate
scan would result in huge file sizes.

Please note maps are supplied
as the print only and are UN-mounted and
UN-framed, the example to the right is shown
for illustration only with a single mounting board and dark
oak frame. Dark green mounting board is recommended as it suits
the colours well and is authentic of the period.

Reproduction prints
are on heavyweight textured *192g/sqm paper. Archival quality
paper and inks have been used, the combination of which gives
an estimated lifespan of at least 75 years.
